Photo source: rofanatorI'm using some detective work here, since I'm never too sure whether I'm looking at a llama or alpaca (or a vicuna, or a guanaco). But I'm guessing this is an alpaca, because it was just sheered (alpacas are primarily raised for their fleece). I'm also guessing it's springtime or early summer, since the sheering is usually done in the spring to make the alpacas comfortable for the heat of the summer.

I'm also guessing that the photographer didn't survive this encounter, which is too bad. He had an obvious flare for photography, and the courage needed to confront such beasts in their own lair.
